Cute little children's book that imagines what the first days of Baby Jesus's life might have been like (from his perspective). I found an old copy of this at my mother-in-law's house and was mainly curious about it because it was a Vonnegut book I had never heard of before. The one thing that made me laugh was the bit about "he went to sleep and had a dream... and then a second dream... and then a third dream" with each line on a separate page. I couldn't help but think Okay now you're just going for filler LOL but yeah, this will be a cute addition to any Christmas books shelf or just a nice collectible for Vonnegut fans in general.
